An Exhortation From The Father's Heart To Yours: The Hour Is Late Will you come in? Can you not hear My voice beckoning you into the Holy of holies? Do not you understand that I already know why it is you do not want to come into where I Am sits? Everything is exposed in here. You prefer to come to church and go through the niceties and do not realize that you are only in the courtyards; you have yet to come into My presence. You want to sing songs that sound good. You do not want to draw too much attention to yourself. You do not want to turn anyone off. You want it to last just only so long because you have places to go and people to meet, and yet you leave the one Who ransomed your heart from destruction standing there empty-handed. You fool yourself to think I do not see everything from where I sit. The difference is that when you come into My Throne Room of Grace, you seewhat it is in you that does not belong. The real reason you do not come because you know you must look at what is really going on inside of yourself. Do you not see that My desire for you is to be rid of the chains that bind you? Do you not know that I love you with a love that is deeper than anything you can imagine? I desire to bring you to the King's banqueting table! You do not see that you have slop on your plate. Can you see that taking sin into yourself is like eating rubbish? Why would you want to eat garbage when I have a feast prepared for you? You are holding on to hidden sin and it keeps you from My best - it keeps you from the Secret Place of the Most High. You refuse to come into the Holy Place with Me because you will not release these insidious desires of yours. You want to lie and cheat; greed runs amuck in those I call My own. Listen Child of Mine, you do not hide a thing from I Am. You only hide it from yourself. Everything is going to be exposed in the Day. Everything is to be revealed by the fire that burns in My eyes. That fire is My passion for you, but it will consume everything that is not of Me. What will be left standing? Come to Me and I will cleanse you. Do not wait! RUN to the Mercy Seat! Then you can standwith Me and not apart from the One who covers your sins. Then you will be able to worship in the power of My Spirit. Then you will be able to come to Me in truth. Then you will be free! Come! Come into the Holy Place! Come sit at My feet and learn from Me for I Am humble of heart. You will find rest for your souls. I stand at the crossroads looking down at My watch. I Am telling you plainly, the hour is late.Do not think that I come to take you up and out of your mess. I do not speak of what men teach. I speak of the hour in your life that has come and I Am telling you, the hour is late. Those who hear Me have been sending warnings to implore you to seek Me early, yet you think you have all the time in the world. You do not. I see the time. The hour is late. My love is great. Come and soak in My Presence and see what I Am can do with your life! Scripture References: Personal note: This word was one of the first prophetic declarations I received from the Lord to send to the church online. Sunday, July 09 2006
There is something I feel responsible to make clear before you read this. The Lord's words are spoken in a tone of voice of the deepest love you can imagine. If you hear anything other than God's love for you, know that tone is not in line with what is coming from the Throne Room. These earnest appeals from the Lord, I believe, come from the times we live in and the sincere urgency that He wants to impart to His Beloved. Jesus' greatest desire is for us to know Him as we are known. It is my prayer that these words spur us each into action and into a deeper place in Christ. Be encouraged. His love is more than enough; His grace is sufficient. Love in Christ, Judy My Love Is Hot Worship is not a spectator sport. My children, I desire you to come to Me with your whole heart. The half-hearted praises of My people weary My ears. I am exhausted for the straining I must do to hear you worship in spirit and in truth. I am begging you to come to Me while I can be found. Must you always be moved to find Me in calamity? Will you not see the benefits of seeking your God and King during times of plenty? O how much more I could bless you if you were seeking me when you are in good times. Come - Come - Come! Worship Me in spirit and in truth. Seek what this means to your King. My love is an intimate, passionate love. It nauseates Me when I hear My own telling the hurting, "I love you with the love of the Lord," when they could no more care about that person than the man-in-the-moon. Don't have mixed seed - that is to say don't have mixed love. You cannot love Me and love the world. You cannot love Me and love mammon. My love is red hot. My love is not lukewarm. Lukewarm love makes Me want to vomit. Come to Me hot or come to Me cold, but don't come lukewarm. Don't touch those I call 'MINE' with lukewarm love. I desire to have you touch My heart and My hurting with hot love. My love is hot. Sunday, July 09 2006
There is something I feel responsible to make clear before you read any of these 'jewels'; the words from the Lord are spoken in a tone of voice of the deepest love you can imagine. If you hear anything other than God's love for you, know that tone is not in line with what is coming from the Throne Room. These earnest appeals from the Lord, I believe, come from the times we live in and the sincere urgency that He wants to impart to His Beloved. Jesus' greatest desire is for us to know Him as we are known. It is my prayer that these words spur us each into action and into a deeper place in Christ. Be encouraged. His love is more than enough; His grace is sufficient. Judy My Love Is Hot - 7/9/06 During corporate worship the Lord asked me to stop and look around. Then He gave me this word: Worship is not a spectator sport. My children, I desire you to come to Me with your whole heart. The half-hearted praises of My people weary My ears. I am exhausted for the straining I must do to hear you worship in spirit and in truth. I am begging you to come to Me while I can be found. Must you always be moved to find Me in calamity? Will you not see the benefits of seeking your God and King during times of plenty? O how much more I could bless you if you were seeking me when you are in good times. Come - Come - Come! Worship Me in spirit and in truth. Seek what this means to your King. My love is an intimate, passionate love. It nauseates Me when I hear My own telling the hurting, "I love you with the love of the Lord," when they could no more care about that person than the man-in-the-moon. Don't have mixed seed - that is to say don't have mixed love. You cannot love Me and love the world. You cannot love Me and love mammon. My love is red hot. My love is not lukewarm. Lukewarm love makes Me want to vomit. Come to Me hot or come to Me cold, but don't come lukewarm. Don't touch those I call 'MINE' with lukewarm love. I desire to have you touch My heart and My hurting with hot love. My love is hot. Personal note: When the Holy Spirit asked me to look around in worship, I saw so many just not connecting to Him. It was clear their minds were somewhere else and it really bummed me out. I don't normally look around during worship because I think worship is really personal, so I try to respect people's privacy. I am there to seek the face of God, not to watch what people are doing. What I saw (spiritually) was disheartening and I felt His sorrow. Understand, this is not a specific church that the Father seeks to single-out. What I was witnessing was 'a matter of the heart' of His Bride - the Church. It just happened to be manifesting where I was at - and it certainly wasn't for the lack of skilled musicians. I would suggest that you ask the Lord what He meant in John 4:23 and let Him speak to you. The Exchange - 6/28/06 O My beloved. Can't you see that I desire to make an exchange with you? I want to give you beauty for ashes and joy for fear. I want you to hand Me the broken events from your life - the rejection, shame, heartbreak, grief, fear, and everything that fills your heart that is not from Me. Give Me the defiling things in your heart. Let the exchange take place. As you release each one, fill that place in your heart with My approval, My forgiveness, My joy, My peace, My love. But remember, it's all because of My intense love for you. Turn Off the Noise - 6/28/06 (This word was given about 30 minutes after, The Exchange. I was awoken by the Lord out of deep sleep both times and wrote them down.) So many of My children go through life with non-stop noise. The TV is on, the radio is on, the CD's are playing. You think you are 'plugged in' with your cell phones, computers, I-Pods, Blackberries and such. But in plugging into the barrage of racket going on around you - you have un-plugged yourself from Me. Those things are not your life-line. I Am your life-line! Do you wonder how some hear the voice of the Lord and some don't? I Am the 'still small voice.' I will not override your will. Your desire is to hear what the world has to offer, but will you take the time to sit in the quiet of the day and seek Me out? Do you want to hear the 'still small voice' of the One who loves and adores you? Do you want to hear from the One who wants to give you solutions to your most difficult life questions? Turn off the noise. The Cold and Distant Bride - 7/12/06 The Lord has been speaking to me in the past few days in a way that is difficult to describe; it is so tender and yet full of agony. There is such an ache and longing in His voice. We think if He is speaking sternly that He is mad and that is not it. That is not it at all. It is His passionate desire for us. His love for His Church is so intense and deep. Most of those who are 'called by His name' are satisfied with so little (spiritually) and He died so that we could have so much more (spiritually). His reminded me today how He asked Hosea to marry a woman whose affections were distant at best. She went to others to be satisfied and it was God's way to show how painful it is for Him when we seek the worldly things and mix them with Christ's burning passion for His cherished Church. This is what makes us lukewarm, beloved. He went to the Cross and demonstrated His deep and passionate love for us by being the very ransom for our captivity. Then many who have accepted the gift of salvation - those whom He died for - go on about their lives as if He had done nothing at all? How can this be??? Will the Beloved of Christ really just go on her merry way after seeing the enormity of His sacrifice? Do they see the extent of the vast love He has shed? Maybe we need to see Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion of the Christ once more so that it is vivid in our minds. I feel Him begging us, pleading with us even to come to Him. Will we be like the five foolish virgins who presumed that they had enough light in their lamps to see them through the dark days, or will we be like the wise virgins who invested in extra oil so that their lights would not go out? Will we be like the wife of Hosea or the Bride who has made herself ready? Hosea 1:2 When the LORD began to speak through Hosea, the LORD said to him, "Go, take to yourself an adulterous wife and children of unfaithfulness, because the land is guilty of the vilest adultery in departing from the LORD." Rev 19:7, 8 Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.) It is my sincere prayer that you turn your affections and your attention to the Lord. Please - turn off the noise so you can hear Him. I pray you will invest in the oil of the Lord. Seek the Lord while He can be found. The Lord calls, He beckons, "Come!" But He does NOT force His will on us. Will you come as a readied bride? Come into the Holy of holies and worship your King. He is worthy. Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. The Hour is Late - 7/12/06 Won't you come in? Can't you hear My voice beckoning you into the Holy of holies? Don't you understand that I already know why it is you don't want to come into where I Am sits? Everything is exposed in here. You prefer to come to church and go through the niceties and don't realize that you are only in the courtyards; you have yet to come into My presence. You want to sing songs that sound good. You don't want to draw too much attention to yourself. You don't want to turn anyone off. You want it to last just only so long because you have places to go and people to meet, and yet you leave the one Who ransomed your heart from destruction standing there empty-handed. You fool yourself to think I don't see everything from where I sit. The difference is that when you come into My Throne Room of Grace, you see what it is in you that doesn't belong. The real reason you don't come because you know you must look at what is really going on inside of yourself. Don't you see that My desire for you is to be rid of the chains that bind you? Don't you know that I love you with a love that is deeper than anything you can imagine? I desire to bring you to the King's banqueting table! You don't see that you have slop on your plate. Can you see that taking sin into yourself is like eating rubbish? Why would you want to eat garbage when I have a feast prepared for you? You are holding on to hidden sin and it keeps you from My best - it keeps you from the Secret Place of the Most High. You refuse to come into the Holy Place with Me because you will not release these insidious desires of yours. You want to lie and cheat; greed runs amuck in those I call My own. Listen Child of Mine, you do not hide a thing from I Am. You only hide it from yourself. Everything is going to be exposed in the Day. Everything is to be revealed by the fire that burns in My eyes. That fire is My passion for you, but it will consume everything that is not of Me. What will be left standing? Come to Me and I will cleanse you. Don't wait! RUN to the Mercy Seat! Then you can stand with Me and not apart from the One who covers your sins. Then you will be able to worship in the power of My Spirit. Then you will be able to come to Me in truth.

Those who hear Me have been sending warnings to implore you to seek Me early, yet you think you have all the time in the world. You don't. I see the time. The hour is late. My love is great. Come and soak in My Presence and see what I Am can do with your life! It's His LOVE church. Everything... it's all about His love. His discipline leads to holiness and without it we are in trouble. There is a Scripture that I think will bless you (if you have made it this far!) It is Hebrews 12:5-15. God's discipline yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness. Yum. There's something sweet to sink your teeth into! Will you let Him burn out everything in your heart that doesn't belong to Him; then will you ask Him to leave everything of Him ablaze? Seated with you in Christ, Judy Bauman Monday, May 22 2006
My child, the work I do in you is not the work of the world. I see those things that must be cut out. Those things that hinder and those things that cause you to react in ways you do not understand - they mustcome out of you for you to walk forward in My will for your life. Trust Me with the knife as I am the Master Surgeon. I can cut those cancerous ways out of your being and make you new again. When I Am the One you turn to for help, you will see a change. Some say that leopards can't change their spots. This is true, but I can change them if it is My desire! It is neither by your might nor by your power, but it is by My Spirit. Let Me cut out the cancer in your soul. Let Me cut away the malignant growth. Let Me cleanse the deep and infected wounds and remove all traces of gangrene. Don't you know that gangrene comes from the lack of blood to living tissue? Let Me apply the blood of My Only Begotten Son to your deepest of wounds. Let Me apply the Balm of Gilead. Let Me give you the heart transplant you so desperately need. Let Me inject My DNA into the depths of your being. Watch as you are transformed from glory to glory! Do not fret if this takes multiple surgeries. You are indeed going from glory to glory. This is a process, beloved child. I know exactly how much you can really take at any given time. I will bring you into My operating room when I know it is the precise time - not too soon - not too late. I will bring you in as many times as it takes to cut away the deadness of your wound. I will only cut as deep as I know that you can recover, and then I wait until you are truly ready again. This kind of work takes time. Do not worry about your schedule or how far along you are in the process. I Am familiar with all your ways. You truly can trust Me. Let Me touch that wound and bring restoration as you have never imagined. Bind yourself to My Son. Bind yourself to My will. Bind your body to the perfect work of the cross. I will loosen the enemy's strangle-hold. I will skillfully cut away his influence and remove his talons from the death-grip they have had on you. Trust Me. All of the rejection and fear and demonic oppression will no longer hold you back from My very best for you! I will never abandon you. Though your earthy father and mother forsook you, I never will. I will bring you near and draw you to Myself. My arms will never drop you. None can steal you from My embrace. Go to sleep and breathe deep from the depths of the well of My love for you. Rest my love. Be still and know that I Am your God and your Father. When you awaken from your slumber, I will have made a permanent change in you as I have replaced your wound with My comfort, My love and My desire for you. Let My will be done in you, My precious earthen vessel, as it is in heaven. Trust Abba to care for you in the way that I know best. With everlasting love, Saturday, February 25 2006
The Lord's Orchestra The Lord showed me an orchestra. All the players were warming up and fine tuning their instruments. It was a loud and cacophonous uproar. While anticipation and excitement filled the air, the clamor was over-whelming. Finally all the musicians in the orchestra had their instrument in tune. They stopped everything they were doing and gave the conductor their full attention. He raised his baton and they began to play in beautiful harmony as he led them. It was beautiful. The Lord revealed that the orchestra is His prophets. In times past we have each gone through the process to fine tune our ears to hear His voice. We have learned that we have to engage all our senses to hear the Holy Spirit. We have spent time practicing and tuning our 'instruments'. Sometimes it has been clamorous. In times past many voices often sounded like they were all saying different things, but we have come into a new season. This is a season of harmony. In this season if something is out of tune, it will be much easier to discern. Let us proclaim with one voice, by One Spirit, the heart of the Father. May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. It is time for Jesus' prayer in John 17 to be conducted. It is time to play the same song together in the same key, rhythm, and pitch, on tempo, and in harmony. It is a time for synchronization to be realized in the prophetic. It is a time for our voices to become one in Christ. It is time to come under Godly authority and allow His leadership to orchestrate the song of the Lord. Let us "Be still and know that He is God." Please see Ephesians 2:18-22 Since I know very little about an orchestra I looked up some terms and found these interesting: Conductor - One who directs a group of performers. The conductor indicates the tempo, phrasing, dynamics, and style by gestures and facial expressions. Temperament - Refers to the tuning of an instrument. Cadence - A sequence of chords that brings an end to a phrase, either in the middle or the end of a composition. Deceptive cadence - A chord progression that seems to lead to resolving itself on the final chord; but does not. Dissonance - Harsh, discordant, and lack of harmony. Also a chord that sounds incomplete until it resolves itself on a harmonious chord. Harmony - Pleasing combination of two or three tones played together in the background while a melody is being played. Harmony also refers to the study of chord progressions. Hymn - A song of praise and glorification. Most often to honor God. Thursday, February 23 2006
This is shared and written for your edification, so when these things come to pass you will see God's hand on you and you will rejoice because of His faithfulness to you and His love for you. I heard: "Do not be overly concerned about the pruning which has come and is to come. It is from Me and will accomplish what I have set out to do in your midst." "Incline your ear to Me. I am pouring forth a new wine and it will take a season to mature. The fruit that is to come from this pruning will be not only sweet to your taste but filling. It will also produce a bumper crop." "Fear not! I say again! FEAR NOT! For I Am with you." "You plant, some water. But I will, I will, I will bring forth the growth." "Seek My face." "Seek me early, seek Me late, seek Me in the midst of trial, seek me in the quiet hours of the night. SEEK ME!" "I will be found by you and I will tell you those things that your heart longs to hear." Amen In His grace, Judy Saturday, February 11 2006
Hear O Church! Arise and walk in the spirit of Esther! Beloved, you are to look at Queen Esther's example in her dealing with Haman to know how to deal with this treachery brewing in Iran. This wicked plot to destroy Israel has come up to your Father's nostrils as a stench! How foolish is this? This leader's pride is like Haman's in the book of Esther. He is of the spirit Haman. Does he not know that the God of Israel's chosen people are hidden everywhere - even within Iran's own top ranks? Your intercessions will bring this man's plotting to ruin! PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM! Go to this book, Church. Esther was a type and a shadow for you to follow. You are My lovely and chosen bride. You are the one who can turn My head with your beauty and your grace. Come and ask of Me now. Purify yourselves and come into My chambers. I will make known to you how to pray. This is a love story that I gave you for instruction! Haman thought he was so high and so great that all should bow down to him. When My servant, Mordecai, refused to bow to him it made him furious. Haman learned Mordecai was Jewish and so he sought to kill them all because of his hatred for Mordecai. He wanted to purge the world of My people because one man refused to bow to him. So he went to the king of Persia, King Ahasuerus (aka Xerxes), and received the king's permission to write letters to the entire empire stating the Jewish people were to be utterly annihilated (on what is normally near February 28th of the Gregorian Calendar, however falls on March 13-14, 2006). His empire had 127 provinces and stretched from India to Ethiopia. When Mordecai learned of the plot to destroy the Jews, he tore his clothes and cried out in sackcloth and ashes. He got word toEsther that even she would not be able to escape this evil. Then he relayed the famous words, "Who can say but that God has brought you in for such a time as this." The Jews all fasted and prayed for Esther to be accepted into the king's inner court so that he would intervene on their behalf. After the third dayEsther put on her royal robes and in her beautiful and gracious way came to present herself to the king. The king's response to her was one of delight. Hear MY CHURCH! The king was delighted in her! He loved her and was so taken by her beauty he not only offered her his golden scepter, but also up to half his kingdom! Esther, in My wisdom, didn't yet speak what was in her broken-heart. She only asked the king and Haman to a banquet that she had prepared. As they enjoyed themselves, the king inquired of her petition. Her only request was for him and Haman to return the second night and she would set another banquet before them. Haman had no clue what was awaiting him. He left that feast on top of the world. Then he saw Mordecai who refused to bow, and Haman's blood boiled within him. Haman was so filled with hatred that night he commissioned gallows 75 feet high to be built on which to hang Mordecai. But the king's heart was stirred that very night and he was reminded of Mordecai's loyalty to inform the king of a plot against his life. The king sought to honor Mordecai and brought Haman in the next day to inquire what tribute should be paid to a loyal man who pleased the king. Haman smugly thought of himself - that it was he who would be honored - so he counseled the king. In every manner this man should be honored! He suggested a royal robe, a royal horse and a royal crown - all which had been used by the king! And the clincher was that one of the king's noble men was to escort him through the streets and shout before him saying, "This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!" All this Haman said fully expecting he was to be the recipient! Then the king announced that Haman was to do ALL he had recommended, but to bestow the honor to Mordecai the Jew! Haman obeyed and did as the king commanded, but afterward he hung his head in utter humiliation and rushed to return home to hide his shame. Just that quickly he was summoned for the second dinner withQueen Esther where the king asked for her petition. She beseeched King Ahasuerus to spare her people from utter slaughter and annihilation. When he demanded to know who was so reprehensible to do such a thing, the Queen told him it was Haman. Haman was hung that night on the very gallows he had built for Mordecai and his sons later followed him to that end. Read what is recorded in Esther and pay close attention to what has been emphasized: 8:2 So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Estherappointed Mordecai over the house of Haman. HEAR O CHURCH!!! The Lord your God is showing you something in this that needs to be applied to this ? Haman' of Persia. Look at this carefully: 8:7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, "Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews. Israel needs our prayers. Those who cry out for freedom inPersia - Iran - also need our prayers, as they are under the rule of this vile spirit. Make no mistake that this man's intention is todestroy all of Israel. That appetite for murder will not be satisfied by just destroying the one country (Mordecai). Haman's spirit is after the Jewish people wherever they may be. The decree will go out for all to be murdered wherever they may be because this spirit will not rest until it sees all Jews dead or itself is killed. Just as Mordecai warned Esther, so must My church take this warning: 8:13 "Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Make haste. Pray for the triumph of Esther and Mordecai to sweep through the Middle East. Write and declare My word over Israel. Pray for the peace of My city, Jerusalem! Write it and seal it with the signet ring that I give you. My third dayhas come and you may come boldly to the inner court to My Throne of Grace! The golden scepter is extended. So COME! You say to Me, "Lord, Come quickly!" But I say to you, "Esther, My Bride, My Church, COME QUICKLY!" Scriptures To Consider: Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Matthew 5:43-45 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 2 Chronicles 20:14 "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem . Thus says the Lord to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's. DECREE: I write not on my own authority but on the authority given to me by my Father and through the blood shed on the Cross atCalvary by His First-born, Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. Through His resurrection and by His Holy Spirit, He has given me the directive to make plain this decree. My credentials are listed in the Lamb's Book of Life. I am His possession and have been marked with His seal. It is His signet ring which seals this decree. The Father I speak of is the God of all creation, the Maker of the heavens and the earth. This same God, whom I call Father, has called Israel His own. Psalms 135:4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be His treasured possession. God Himself named Israel As it is written in Genesis 35:9-12 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him. God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel." So He named him Israel. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you." The LORD will not forsake them 1 Kings 6:13 "I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel." God does not take back His calling or His gifts. Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. This decree is written to warn this president who has openly called for Israel to be "wiped off the map," to repent for making this threat. Global authorities which overlook nuclear policy must not be ignored. He has placed himself in the same shoes of Haman as well as those ?sons' - those who are made in his same image - all of which will meet a similar end if an honest apology is not forthcoming. Haman suffered the death that he himself had devised for Mordecai. The very weapons devised against the Jewish nation of Israel will come back on this president's own house if he does not turn away from his course of action. There is time for repentance. Comply with global authorities and repent to the Lord of hosts for launching threats against His treasured Israel. The Lord God is faithful and just to forgive all sin and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 Right now I launch prayers of peace over Jerusalem. I release a shield of faith over Israel. I pray for the strengthening ofMichael - the great prince who stands watch over Israel - and all who are within his ranks. Israel, you who are great beloved by the Lord, see to it that your names are written in the Book of Life. Read Daniel 12:1 I pray for the redemption of the Persian people. Look up O People of Iran! Your Help draws near! I pray for those who are in captivity, especially the woman who have endured great torture at the hands of the wicked. I launch ?peace-seeking' missiles into Iran! I pray for the Prince of Peace to reign in Iran. I sign this and take the signet ring given me and seal this decree now in the Mighty and powerful name above all names, Jesus. Amen - so be it!

During worship I received a 'download' from heaven about what Jesus is seeking in our friendship with Him. As I sat down to write the word the Lord gave me, my pastor introduced a guest speaker - a pastor from Costa Rica. My church and the speaker's church in Costa Rica have been connected for years. They went through the customary introductions and pleasantries, but I was focused on writing. Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted as the guest speaker began his message. It was so closely in line with what the Lord had just shared with me, I had no choice but to take note of this engaging confirmation! So first I will share the word I received from the Lord, and then I will share the heart of the message given by the visiting pastor. It is my prayer that it will spur on your relationship - your friendship - with the Lord Jesus in a mighty way! Let us give Him the desires of His heart! In His joy, To Be A Friend Of Jesus: "You come to Me and call Me friend, and rightly so for that it is what I Am. My friendship is multifaceted, and sadly for Me, so many have a one dimensional relationship with Me." "I want you to stop and think about your best friend." "I want you to think about what you do together and what you say to one another." "Now, My friend, I want you to look at our friendship." "Do you see why you why you may be feeling like I am distant from you?" "If your best friend called only when they need something, how would your friendship flourish? If your friend did all the talking while you patiently listened and then turned and walked away as you were about to open your heart, how would your trust in that friend grow? If you were the one always giving and your friend only took, then how long would that friendship last?" "Friend, come and sit with Me. Come and ask Me what is on My mind. Come and listen. Come and be a friend to Me. I will always be a friend to you. I will always listen to you, I know your thoughts before you even speak, but I still listen to you. I listen because I love you. I want you to listen to Me. Oh how much tighter our bond will become when you know My heart as I know yours." The Lord just gave me a precious Scripture. "Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 Pastor Ronald Diaz God made us to commune with Him. He is so much into relationships; He is even in relationship with Himself! That is why He is a triune God! The Lord is relational and desires our love. He says, "LOVE ME!" He is not shy about it! God makes it clear that He desires our attention. We need to stop being so task-oriented and be relation-oriented. That is your foundation. "Let's spend time together!" We're so task oriented we need to bring our work to the Lord. He knows we have things to do. So bring your work to Him and do it together. He wants to be with you in everything you are doing. Jesus didn't come to give us religion or more tasks. Jesuscame and made it real simple for us. He gave us two things to do. Love Him. And Love others - giving us the ministry of reconciliation. We are the reconcilers between God and the lost. But the first and most important thing is to love our God. Saturday, January 07 2006
Fountain Of Light During worship while we reverently sung over and over again, "Come, Lord Jesus, Come;" I had a vision about a fountain. In the beginning of singing this song it had begun with the words, "There is a fountain." When I heard the word 'fountain' my mind wandered to a difficult time in my life. I asked the Lord to take away my, 'Fountain of Sorrow' and completely restore His Fountain in my life. The vision the Lord showed me unfolded in parts and I submit it for your discernment. There was a fountain in the middle of a street. In America nearly all fountains have a pool that catches the water, but many of the fountains in Europe spray down onto the street and then drain underneath. This fountain was like that. It had no borders. It was very simple with three tiers that looked somewhat like a worn down monument. This simple fountain was slowly replaced. First the head of a lion came up the middle. It was a regal lion and he looked me squarely in the eye. I was captured by its majesty. Water then began to gush out of His mouth and cascaded down onto the lowest pier where there lay a small Lamb - white and perfect and dead. It almost looked asleep, but it wasn't. It lay motionless on top of the Lion's feet as though when it died it had collapsed there and the Lion hadn't moved. I looked back up at the Lion's face and saw the fountain's water trickle from His eyes as tears. Rising above the Lion to the left was an Eagle. I could see its piecing left eye and formidable beak. The Eagle had water flowing through the top of its talons. It looked to be a Golden Eagle. Standing to the right in front of the Lion and the Lamb was a large white male sheep. It looked exactly like a Colorado Ram with its horns curling under - only pure white. This animal stood on the street and the water ran under his feet. To the right came forward a Rider on a beautiful white horse. He was a regal Man with a sword extending from His mouth, yet it was as water. (The thought came to me last night after reading Revelation 4:6, 7 that the sword could have been made out of crystal with water running over its blade. This passage seems to describe some of what I saw.) The sword was forceful and deadly, yet it was the defense of the weak and hopeless. He was dressed in a type of armor and was clearly a force to be reckoned with. He was a lovely sight and a terrifying one at the same time. His grace and peace, Judy January 7, 2006 These are the best examples that I can find of what I saw. click on each one for link: lion Lyrics to Fountain of Sorrow http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/jackson_browne/fountain_of_sorrow.html Saturday, December 31 2005
This word from the Lord keeps ringing in my ears, "Satan is out to destroy you, and he is using your own appetite to do it." He spoke this to a friend of mine who then shared it with me. It has been a seed planted whose time has come to bear fruit. It is my belief that it is time for us to align ourselves physically with God's plan for our lives. I believe the Lord has shown me that His supernatural grace is awaiting all who will call upon Him concerning the condition of their health and weight. His grace truly is sufficient for us; however, there are certain seasons where He opens up the windows of heaven to give grace and more grace for His specific purpose. Six being the number of man, or the number of flesh, I believe that the Holy Spirit is prompting us to get our flesh to line up with God's word. The Lord has repeatedly confirmed this message to me and I pray this word will touch you concerning what seems to be a plague upon the church. Many in the Body of Christ, including myself, are out of shape physically. As a result many in the church are falling ill and some have already succumbed. I believe many have met the Lord before their true time because they didn't submit to Him to get their bodies into shape for the task at hand. This does however keep us from fulfilling our mission in this life as God would have it fulfilled. This is not meant to condemn us. On the contrary! This word is meant to spur us on to deliverance! As we know, diabetes and obesity are at record highs inAmerica and around the world. Health alerts posted are found everywhere in media. The medical profession is expecting a crisis on the system because of the current health trends. Since New Year's Day is the classic season for 'resolutions' it would seem this is the time to take action. However, let's not take action according to the flesh - in our own power - let us take action by God's power and by His grace. Let us as the Body of Christ act now and be examples to the world of God's goodness and grace as we care for the temples of the Holy Spirit that the Father has made us. God has entrusted us to this task. Let being His temple be our motivation. Let our love for Jesus be our motivation. Remember when Paul exhorted us to imitate him as he imitates Christ? Remember when he said, 'Be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.'? See 1 Timothy 4:12 and 1 Corinthians 11:1. We truly CAN do all things that strengthen us! Philippians 4:13 Church, I believe that our example of taking care of the temple of the Holy Spirit needs to be taken seriously. See 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17 and Romans 12:1-3. Maybe you are at a place that this is not important enough to you for you to take action. I have been complaining about my weight and general lack of energy for a few years now without truly taking action. So trust me, I understand. But for my sake and for yours it is my deepest desire for that to come to a screeching halt. Faith without works is dead. If God is speaking to you right now and you know it - then let's come together as Christ's body and do something about it! Let us take the Lord's hand and be delivered together. Are we not to be examples of God's grace, love and purity to the world? Are we not the ones who have the Holy Spirit to help us in all things? Do we not have the Spirit of Truth residing in us - giving us self-control? Let God be true and every man a liar! Clearly, Satan the enemy of our souls has crept in unaware and we have allowed it. We must first be repentant for the lack of care we have given the temple of the Holy Spirit. We need to become as the Mighty Men of Valor and become vigilant in the fight - taking this battle very seriously. Our very lives depend on it, and not only that, but many other souls eternally depend on it! We must cast down every thought down and into obedience to the Lord Jesus and take every thought captive. 2 Corinthians 10:4, 5 God will give us the grace to win - as He has made us more than conquerors, however, we must take action! I believe that every work of the flesh is going to be dealt with this year! This will be true first in the church and also in the world. Your addiction may not be food. It may be alcohol, drugs (prescription or illicit), sex, pornography, or smoking cigarettes. It may be something else, but you will know that the Lord is dealing with you. Let us learn to use the Word - our sword - to fight and prevail over our own fleshly appetites Satan has been using to defeat us. We are all going to be dealt with this year concerning our flesh. If you obey He will see you through this battle. If you disobey then He may lift His grace until the next season when He sees fit to open the door for you. I implore you to obey God now during this season of grace over flesh, and see His Mighty Right Hand of deliverance over your life. See Isaiah 41:10. I know some have to hear the news that they have diabetes or even wait until a heart attack or cancer strikes before taking action, but I pray that every person reading this will be infused by God to take real action. Desperate times call for desperate measures I've heard! It is my desire for us to take action now. If you are one who has received this type of distressing medical news, be encouraged that the Lord is opening the door to you to turn the tables on the enemy. Death has lost its sting! God has you in His hands. There are no better hands for you to be in. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Three days this week I was awoken at 8:09 (I'm on vacation - thank God for libraries with computers!) After the third time I thought maybe the Lord was leading me into His word. I began to seek out Scriptures. Since I have been urged this is the year that the flesh is subject to the Spirit I found my search fascinating! Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 1 Corinthians 8:9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. Zechariah 8:9 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'Let your hands be strong, You who have been hearing in these days These words by the mouth of the prophets, Who spoke in the day the foundation was laid For the house of the Lord of hosts, That the temple might be built. In Hebrews, Ezekiel and Jeremiah 8:9, I would suggest that you read verses around them so that the ninth verse will make sense. Here is an idea: If this word does resound in you, please contact me and let's see if there is a way that we can help to keep one another accountable. I believe that is the primary reason for fellowship - accountability. Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance! Judy |
